MADISON, WI – Wisconsin is modernizing its famous dairy industry with the introduction of ‘Curd Control Drones’. These small, autonomous aircraft fly over pastures, monitoring cow happiness, milk consistency, and cheese aging processes using specialized infrared sensors.
This technological shift has created a massive demand for certified Dairy Drone Pilots (DDPs) and related technicians. Over 12,000 new jobs have been posted, including:
- Whey-Vapor Analyst: Interpreting data collected by the drone sensors.
- Drone Herder: Using drones to gently guide cows from the field to the milking station.
- Flight Snack Provisioner: Ensuring the drone pilots are well-supplied with cheese curds.
The state is offering a fast-track certification program where you learn to fly the drones, distinguish different cheese aromas from the air, and understand basic bovine mood indicators. Wisconsin aims to be the most technologically advanced dairy producer globally.
